Erich's Rest

Highlight • Forest

From the lookout point “Sperrhügel” - that's also the name of the place, you have a nice place to rest and a mountain meadow right in front of your nose. 👀😎

Sperrhügel (882 m)

Highlight • Summit

At the Rennsteig Supermarathon, the barrier hill is the "poisonous" climb. 🥵
Because of the approx. 45 km that have already been covered, it feels worse than the super-steep section …
